The Federal Law. — The national pure food law also protects 

 the purchaser of feeds. All feeds that enter into interstate trade 

 are subject to the requirements of this law. The manufacturers 

 of feeds are required to sell goods as represented to satisfy this 

 law. Exam,ple, a manufacturer cannot sell a feed manufactured in 

 Texas, in Arkansas, labelled pure wheat bran that contains any 

 thing other than wheat bran, nor can he sell a feed of a stated 

 chemical analysis and have it fall materially below it. 



Low Grade By-Produot Feeds. — Some states, as heretofore 

 stated, do not permit the sale of feeds below certain standards. 

 There is considerable difference of opinion as to the advisability 

 of such prohibition. Some claim such feeds should be elimina- 

 ted so as to furnish all purchasers with feeds of a so-called high 

 or standard grade. Others claim that a manufacturer should be 

 permitted to sell low grade feeds provided the ingredients that 

 make up the feed are stated and there are no injurious or poison^ 

 ous materials present. We all know that oat hulls, corn cobs, 

 screenings, cotton seed hulls, etc., contain some nutritious mate- 

 rial and many claim that should the consumer wish to buy feeds 

 containing any of these substances it is his own privilege and 

 legitimate, when they are stated as being present. Other points
